I'd advise you to consult some orthopedician trained in spine or interventional pain specialist nearby for correct diagnosis to find out the source of problem.

what is important for your recovery is visiting to an sports injury expert & to rule out the cause of your recurrent pain & then undergoing a planned sports rehabilitation which would include pain healing & strengthening along with injury prevention program.

Dear
most probably you mother has cervical spondylitis and need proper evaluation and once diagnosis is confirmed it can be successfully treated with conservative treatment.
If she is not responding then I would do spinal manipulation and make her alright non operatively.

I suggest you follow the below for your condition:
take mag phos 6x - thrice daily for next 2 weeks and update.
Also do x-ray of the affected area.
Heat and ice packs. Heat and/or cold therapy helps relieve most types of low back pain by reducing inflammation. Often patients use ice, but some prefer heat. Both may be used alternately.

Hi lybrate-user it's ok it's never too late to start. Have confidence. Organise and make schedule give maximum time to study say positive affirmations to you. We are what the mind believes. So believe you will be able to do it. Consult for counseling.
